second dream

name of dream: regimental prison (1)

in the first scene, i was sitting on the end of a bench against a wall with a dozen other men

we were wearing thick dark-blue jumpers and darker trousers

in the next scene we were standing in a line in what looked like a gym, and again i was at the end of the line

in the third scene, the other men were doing something energetic while i stood there watching

the instructor came over to me and said: "why aren't you running" i said "i can't run" the instructor said sarcastically, "why, are you crippled " and i said "no, disabled"

the instructor asked a couple more questions and realised i was not an able-bodied person

he stood there with his mouth open not knowing what to say

i knew that i shouldn't be there and now so did he

he was going to have to leave the men and take me somewhere and get it sorted out

the instructor was annoyed that someone had not done their job and wanted, but didn't, to give me a dressing down and lay the blame on me

third dream

name of dream: in the arms of my baby

it felt as though i was carrying a heavy burden

it felt as though i had been carrying it all my life

i entered the room where my girl was lying down

i walked over and joined my girl lying down and the burden came with me

in her arms, there was some solace

i said "i have missed you"
